About Minami Ozaki
- Minami Ozaki (???, Ozaki Minami) is a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist and illustrator of novels born on February 27, 1968 in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
- She is famous for her best-selling manga series Zetsuai 1989, which is considered to have redefined the Shonen-ai/Yaoi genres in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
- Her old pen name is Ryo Minami (??, Minami Ryo), but in 1986 she changed her pen name to Minami Ozaki.
- She sometimes uses other pseudonym—Minami Himemuro (?????). In 1988 (at the age of 20), her first manga series, Chusei no Akashi (Proof of Loyalty), was serialized in Margaret Comics. Her success with Zetsuai 1989 has led Helen McCarthy to describe Ozaki as "one of the queens of shojo and shonen-ai manga".
- Through her Captain Tsubasa dojinshi, Ozaki "played a strong role" in "revamping the boys-love genre" in the 1980s.
- Her hallmark is "prolonged erotic psychodramas" which has earned her a "cult following" through Margaret.
- Matt Thorn describes her as being a "mania-oriented" artist, with "extremely stylized" character designs and page layouts with a "dream-like quality".
- Her style had an enormous influence on later shojo writers.
